Roc D'Apsis (7/2), Fort Worth (7/2), Gallery Exhibition (9/2), Cloudy Bob (5/1), Al Alfa (7/1), Long Lunch (7/1), Like Sully (16/1)

Verdict

LONG LUNCH is weighted to have a fair claim in this company on the strength of his Doncaster run in December over the trip. He can be forgiven last month's tame effort in the Topham and should be more at home in this. Gallery Exhibition recorded a nice success over C&D last time out and will be a threat in the same mood, though consistency of effort is not his forte. Al Alfa should be fitter having reappeared at Newton Abbot and can take some prize money while Fort Worth may leave behind a disappointing at Haydock last time.
